edit
is a Rust library that lets you open and edit something in a text editor, regardless of platform. (Think git commit
.)
It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and knows about lots of different text editors to fall back upon in case standard environment variables such as VISUAL
and EDITOR
aren't set.
let template = "Fill in the blank: Hello, _____!";
let edited = edit::edit(template)?;
println!("after editing: '{}'", edited);
// after editing: 'Fill in the blank: Hello, world!'

Features
The edit
crate has the following optional features:
-
better-path
(enabled by default) — Usewhich
to locate executable programs inPATH
. If this is disabled, programs are still looked up inPATH
, but a basic search is used that does not check for executability. -
quoted-env
— Useshell-words
to split apart the values of theVISUAL
andEDITOR
environment variables. If this is disabled, the envvars are split up on whitespace.
